After you feel comfortable with shadowing, go on to the dual task exercise. From then on, begin all of your simultaneous practice sessions with five or ten minutes of shadowing as a way of warming up. Shadowing
Dual task While shadowing,write something totally unrelated on a piece of paper.Begin by writing the numerals from 1 to 100,and then backwards from 100 to 1. When you can do that without omitting any of the speaker's words, count by times of 3 from 3 to 99,and then backwards. The point of this exercise is to increase your concentration and accustom you to working on two different tasks at once,in preparation for simultaneous interpreting,when you will have to process the source-language message while generating the target- language message. Whenever you get to the point that you can shadow the speaker easily while performing the written task,increase the difficulty of the written task (write out your name,address and social security number;then copy names and addresses from the phone book,etc.)

Paraphrase 。 Begin shadowing the speaker.As you go along,change the wording of the message wherever you can,without altering the meaning. This is a very difficult exercise (harder than interpreting,in fact)that serves several purposes: 1)it forces you to build up your decalage as you wait to hear something meaningful before rewording it; 2)it builds your vocabulary; 3)it increases your mental agility and problem-solving ability as you constantly think of different ways of saying the same thing;and 4)it enhances your analytical skills as you become more adept at ferreting out the underlying meaning of the message
